WhereIn We Praise Edgecomb Gray

The painters came and did their thing. And I looooove the results. So peaceful. The color itself isnt too noticable, but that's what we wanted: calm, soothing, and a nice backdrop that I won't get tired of in 2 minutes.

See? Sometimes it looks light beige, sometimes light gray, and all of the times I like it.

On this last picture, if you look to the bottom right you can see the few walls into the kitchen that still have the yellowy mess that was on these walls before. Blech. Those walls are going to be this prettiness. Momma happy. 

Moving

I said Mommy wants to take a cute picture of you two in this box for our moving announcement. Climb in and smile for the camera, please. And here is what they gave me.

 

 

Cant wait till it's time to take the Christmas card photo.

My day so far

I woke up at 2:24am and looked at the clock. Someone was late. You see, a certain jovial baby has taken to co-sleeping and while he goes to bed in his own bed, somewhere between 12:45am and 4:50am he comes to our bed, my side specifically, and sleeps the rest of the night in between on my pillow and in my sleeping space. Makes for a few uncomfortable hours, but its awfully cute so I just can't put an end to it. He'll be all teenage angst filled soon enough, right? Anyways, this has been going on for a few weeks, and the last week or so he's been really consistent about getting to our bed around 1am. So at 2:24am this morning I started to wonder if he was over it. Maybe he was sleeping in his own bed again? I laid quietly for a little bit, then just as I drifted off, I hear little feet running down the hallway. He normally just walks, but must have sense that he was late, and came running into our room, blanket tucked under one arm, and BEAH tucked under another and breathlessly said "I here!" as if he were about to be counted as being absent. I'll note that this night he did not bring a book with him. He must be worried about the quality of the reading material we have in our room.

And then it was 5am and I had to get up and start doing a whole bunch of adult sh*t that just isn't that cute.

Update: These three got up to this morning and went to school! It's that time again, people. Wonder what Aunt Karen is doing this morning? A little coffee and relaxing, I hope.

Rhettford makes me laugh.

Every once in a while Grady gets the urge to pick up our electronic devices to "play" with said devices. Turns out he's actually learning how to use it, because I found all these pictures he took with our camera; some are from the beach trip. His photos, and what I think he was thinking when he took it. 

Wow, my Momma is crazy. Or fun. She sure had that plastic cup in her hand a lot during this beach trip...

Oh, dere's GG.

Why do people always lean in when I take pictures? Hewwow DADA!

 Hello Grampie! Why you sit so far?

Oooh, dere's Grampie again but now busy micromanaging GG's driving. He so bossy.

Where you going, GG?

Crazy Momma again. No take da camera from me.

Elbis, Elbis come back!

So entertaining, this parenting stuff.

Another snippet.

Lets get started with a few more random pictures I found on the camera. Look how sweet these two are to each other. The picture is blurry, but the content makes it post-worthy.

Remember we had a trip to Oregon? Well the first night we got there we didnt want to lug the big camera everywhere, so we took the little camera with to this brewery and restaurant. This is the view you'd see if you were the plate, or a glass, or in this instance the camera propped on the table. 

And the man above is smiling because a little sampler platter is on its way to him. 6 little beers, all allegedly tasty. I don't know if they were tasty, I was tasting a glass of wine, and I just dont care for beer.

While the beer and wine were good, I can't really recommend the food. Mostly bland and typical of what you might find at any chain restaurant. It's likely an unfortunate consequence of a brewery becoming popular and expanding too quickly. Thankfully they kept their focus on the beer production, because mediocre meal be damned, we left happy.
